The Riven Lands

I
Ithikari

The Riven Lands are a fractured realm born from a magical event, The Sundering which violently pulled people from countless realities into a bleeding scar across existence. Magic here is a vile, twisting curse, its power warping flesh and mind. Its inhabitants, xenophobic and without loyalty, cling to life amidst decaying lands, endless wars, and horrifying Gods that everyone worships in some form. Hope is a lie; only brutal struggle remains in this world drowned in cynicism and sheer cruelty.

Description

A grim, chaotic counting house and debt office, where suffering is quantified and processed into capital. Its floors are stained with old blood, and the air hangs heavy with the stench of human desperation and the coppery tang of recent transactions. Work here is not for the faint of heart and is often a matter of ruthless enforcement. Adventurers can be hired to repossess collateral from debtors who cannot pay, hunt down those who have fled after trading a part of themselves, or act as enforcers for the Kitsune families who run this grim institution, ensuring that every debt is settled in flesh or time.

Appearance

The interior is dimly lit by flickering lanterns, with piles of ledgers and cursed contracts scattered across bloodstained desks. Chains and shackles hang from the walls, and the scent of iron and sweat permeates the air. The atmosphere is tense, filled with whispered threats and the occasional clatter of enforced payments.
